| Elka and Victor Stapel are the owners of Skystone Creations since 1985. Working side by side with Navajos for almost 20 years, developed certain sensitivity towards their culture and well-being. Turquoise (Skystone) is the main stone that they use in their jewelry, but other gems like Garnet, Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Denim Lapis, Malachite, Tiger Eye, Black Onyx, Lab Opal, White Mother of Pearl, Pink Mussel Shell, Paua Shell, and Red Coral mounted in Sterling Silver compliment the remainder of their Navajo jewelry selection. The variety of different gemstones is helpful in satisfying customers who prefer something different than the traditional Turquoise gemstone. In the Navajo Jewelry Section, each piece you find displayed is handcraft by Navajo Silversmith's in our store and is checked for perfection. Skystone Creations' Navajo jewelry are stamped with the letters "SC", indicating its originality from our store."Skystone" is the Indian's name for turquoise. Natural turquoise was very important to the Native Americans and the jewelry they made from it held a special place in their way of life. Skystones, turquoise stones, are stones of protection, prosperity, and blessings.Since people admire different styles and tribal techniques, they often travel to New Mexico, where they acquire additional Native American Indian jewelry. Many of the fine jewelry items are purchased directly from the artist. By purchasing direct from the Native American artist they can assure quality and lower prices to their customers. You will find many of these quality pieces of jewelry in our Southwestern Specialties and Contemporary South Western sections.
